This document provides an overview and guidelines for academic projects at Dhanwate National College. It defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. The document outlines the typical project management processes of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It also describes the software development life cycle (SDLC) process. The document recommends that students choose projects relevant to their field of study and lists some recommended application areas. It provides guidance on project report formatting and required documentation, including system analysis diagrams. The document concludes with information on project evaluation criteria.

2. Project
• A project is a primary attempt to create a unique
product, service, or result.
• The temporary nature of projects indicates that a
project has a definite beginning and end.
• The end is reached when the project’s objectives
have been achieved or when the project is
terminated because its objectives will not or cannot
be met, or when the need for the project no longer
exists.
• A project may also be terminated if the client
(customer, sponsor, or champion) wishes to
terminate the project.

3. Project Management Processes
• Initiating,
• Planning,
• Executing,
• Monitoring and Controlling, and
• Closing.
SDLC consists of the following activities :
•Preliminary Investigation
•Determination of System Requirements.
•Design of System
•Development of System Requirements
•System Testing
•Implementation, Evaluation and Maintenance

4. Types of Project
• As majorities of the students are expected to
work out a project in some industry/research and
development laboratories/educational
institutions/software companies
• It is suggested that the project is to be chosen
which should have some direct relevance in day-
today activities of the candidates in his/her
institution.

5. The List of Applications Areas in which
project must be -
•Financial / Marketing /Database
Management System / Relational Database
